“Crack Bread is frigging Awesome Buy in Bulk“

“Outstanding Service. Good food Nice location“

“Best eggs benedict I've ever had. It's on a croissant instead of the classic dry English muffin. Homemade hollandaise sauce. Came with both perfectly crispy and seasoned potatoes and with a nice greens salad with a good vinaigrette. We beat the line but it was still a little backed up. Absolutely worth a wait. Shout out to Leon, Dove, Marques, and Manuel for working hard and being so polite during the rush.

Edit to add my husband's gingerbread apple French toast something or other was also to die for. Like, dang. Perfect balance of sweet and salty. Perfectly cooked. Could taste butter. Just phenomenal.“

“I had their products before and I was just impressed with them but I bought a mothers day cake i was blown away it was DELICIOUS moist plenty of flavor ( strawberries heart) I recommend it if you're looking a fantastic cake full of flavor a fantastic cake look no more Hans & Harry's is the place 😋“

“Perfection! I love that minis are an option, you can enjoy a treat but not have to stick with one flavor. The staff at this location are top notch. They are all laughing and having fun with each other, while I waited for my order I saw probably 8 people come in and they welcomed every single person. Then as I picked up my order, they kindly surprised me with the original pink icing cookie so I could experience it. 10/10, will absolutely come again!“

“Best fresh mochi in San Diego! If your only experience with mochi was with ice cream, this is a must try. Fresh mochi is so soft and flavorful. This isn't a restaurant, it is a counter service bakery. No sit down areas, so plan to just pick-up.“

“Suspiros Cakes Chula Vista CA are delicious!!! Go in person to check out their many incredible flavors. The staff is incredibly friendly (English and Spanish speaking) and takes the time to find you your perfect cake. I ordered the carrot cake and choco crema/pinguino cakes for my wedding-- all the guests raved about how good they were! It is great that some flavors are offered in 1/4 or 1/2 sheets. Gracias a Suspiros Cakes Chula Vista CA!“

“Delicious Mexican sweet bread, very tasty and fresh, they always have a great variety, the only thing is that they are slow to serve, they sell you the box for one dollar and they only accept cash. Open from Monday to Saturday from very early.“

“Every time we visit San Diego this place is must stop!! Pan dulce is so soft and fresh we need one on Los Angeles 😎“

“THE BEST BANANA BREAD I’VE EVER TASTED!!!If you’re a bread lover like me, I SERIOUSLY recommend this shop! He was so sweet and patient! He even took time out of his day to answer questions and help pick out a delicious banana bread!He claimed I would be back tomorrow and guess what?? I will be!!“

“Ana at Trident Coffee is incredible! She greeted me with a warm smile and expertly recommended the perfect drink based on my preferences.
Her friendly and enthusiastic attitude truly elevated my experience—Trident is lucky to have her!“

“Wonderful experience getting a custom cake with Babycakes. I have used them in the past and they never disappoint. The cake was perfect as requested, and looked beautiful. It was a show stopper at our event. The customer service was very supportive and made our quick turn around an easy process. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for quality cakes!“

“Lovely decor with outdoor seating. The Avocado Toast was delicious 😋“

“Mejor pan dulce en San Diego!“

“Loved it! Went earlier today and I ordered an iced latte and 6 pack of filled malasadas. My coffee was great, far better than other coffee shops I’ve tried in National City, and was made surprisingly quick. The malasadas were warm and fresh, but some of the fillings were a little too artificial to my liking. Service was also great, the young girl at the front definitely gave off that Aloha vibe, and guided me through the menu as I was a little confused at first. Got my malasadas within 15 minutes, would recommend.“

“La Moreliana Bakery offers a delightful experience with their incredibly delicious and fresh bread selections. The aroma alone draws you in, and the taste does not disappoint. The variety of choices available is impressive, catering to different preferences and cravings.One of the standout features is the bakery's commitment to offering great prices without compromising on quality. You'll find that your money goes a long way here, allowing you to indulge in their delectable treats without breaking the bank.The only drawback I encountered was the parking situation, which proved to be a bit challenging. Finding a suitable parking spot can be quite the task, especially during peak hours. However, the inconvenience of parking is overshadowed by the exceptional bakery offerings.In summary, La Moreliana Bakery is a haven for bread enthusiasts. With their fantastic assortment of fresh bread, wallet-friendly prices, and an array of options to choose from, it's a must-visit for anyone with a love for baked goods. Just be prepared for a potential parking adventure!“

“Ordered a custom cake, great flavor!“

“Mya’s Catering made my baby shower (~60 guests) so incredibly special for me and my guests. The treats not only looked incredible, but tasted even better. Mya provided feedback on my visit leading up to the event which I found to be very helpful. She arrived early to set up the dessert tables and decor. She worked very quickly and was extremely professional from the time I reached out through following up post-event to ensure that everything went smoothly. Thank you, Mya’s Catering, for making my baby shower one of the most cherished days of my life!“

“I absolutely love this place although the owners are different than the original I have still been coming to this location since 1986 this is one of the best of the very few places in San Diego that make birote rellenos although I work in Rancho Bernardo I literally drive down four times a week just to purchase food again I absolutely love this place and hope it never goes away“

“Simply delicious!! You have to try it. They have a lot of options and flavors. My fav was the Yaki Pudding Cheesecake 3". So flavorful. Prices are standard. Spacious parking lot.

“The only thing sweeter than the products is the character of the staff. 💕🌸💕“

“Her cookie teacher appreciation box was amazing and she had them the same day for me! Definitely going to order from her again. Thank you so much!“

“Buenas tardes yo se que estos grupos no son para estas cosas pero quiero compartir esto: Yo soy clienta de la tortilleria elice de playas y la verdad antes tenían buen servicio y te atendían de buen humor y los burritos tenían muy buen sabor ahora la muchacha güera que atiende siempre esta de mal humor haciendo sus caras y la verdad nose quien se encargue de los guisados pero hasta mis hijos me han dicho que ya no son los mismo de antes que no les gusta porque no tienen ni sabor si me gustaría que pusieran atención en su nuevo personal porque si tiene mala la imagen de la señorita que atiende en caja y no es nada rápida siempre esta bien lenta tarda mucho la verdad Nose si sea su primer trabajo o no tenga ganas de trabajar pero si no quiere trabajar hay mucha gente que si lo necesita y tiene muchas ganas de trabajar Sigo llendo ala tortilleria porque la verdad las tortillas están buenas pero el servicio no es el mismo la verdad orita no la recomiendo esa Tortilleria“

“Una excelente opción, muy artesanal, totalmente se las recomiendo ��“

“I was gifted a box of different varieties of mamon’s for Christmas by a good friend and I loved them! I decided to visit a bakery near me to check out more options, I was amazed by all the different flavors and creations and also bought more flavors like ube which is one of my favorite’s. I was excited when I saw empanadas on the menu and decided to try the chicken and the flavor was on point. The texture and juices of the chicken are delicious, I will most definitely go back to try more on the menu“

“I have partnered with Sugared Cookie Co. to offer a sweet treat with the grazing boxes I create and they are always a hit with my customers. The company is professional, has great communication and always delivers on time. I have also had the opportunity to enjoy the cookies myself and I love the soft texture plus creative designs! I love that they can customize cookies and sweets for every occasion. They keep the price affordable without sacrificing quality.“

“No la recomendaria, esto me paso el 6 de enero, compre una rosca chica y no traia el bebito. Hable por telefono y la persona que me contesto muy mal modienta y todavia me dijo en forma de broma que tal vez ya nos lo habiamos comido y que si queria regresarla tenia que estar completa la rosca .....pos como, si le estaba diciendo que no traia el bebito ovio que tenia que partirla verdad. Al final me dijo que habia un letrero en registro que si a la rosca no le tocaba el bebito que se podia pedir en la panaderia... y que si lo queria tenia que ir a recogerlo... yo no vivo cercas pase por que crei que era una panaderia buena. Lastima.. 😡“

“Todo bien rico y bien servido!“

“A Tiny Treasure Trove of Authentic Mexican Flavors

Tucked away on 31st, just a stone's throw from Imperial Avenue, lies Lucy's Bakery – a hidden gem that's easy to miss but impossible to forget. This unassuming little bakery is a portal to authentic Mexican flavors. While their torta bread is wonderfully soft and perfect for crafting your own culinary masterpieces at home, it's their traditional pan dulce that truly steals the show. Each pastry, from the cloud-like conchas with their delicate sugary crust to the generously filled empanadas, is a testament to time-honored recipes. The aroma alone, a warm embrace of cinnamon, vanilla, and freshly baked dough, is enough to transport you. And for a surprisingly delightful morning treat, their robust coffee, offered at an incredibly affordable price, will awaken your senses. Lucy's is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Mexico. Arrive early, though – these little treasures are known to disappear quickly!“

“We stopped in for coffee and pastry during our stay in San Diego. We ordered a plain and Raisin Cimarron roll with coffee to go. Both Cimarron rolls were delicious and full of flavor. The coffee was piling hot and refreshing and the staff was nice and friendly“

“Thank you, Nena! Our wedding cake was so beautiful and delicious. The taste was delicately sweet, with fresh fruit and cream, all of our guests loved it, and we could not be more grateful.
This is the best place for wedding cakes! An excellent price for the quantity and quality!“

“What a hidden gem! I felt so welcomed like I was having lunch at Grandma’s house and I was family. The service is so friendly and kind. The food was amazing as well. One of the best Filipino breakfast spots and pan de sal bread! They don’t just sell cakes and desserts. In the back corner is hot to go food and lumpia. Come check out this hidden San Diego Filipino food gem and support a wonderful small family business“

“Vanessa created the most amazing wedding cake for me! We did German chocolate which we had discussed she had never made before but she absolutely knocked it out of the park. She sensed my vision for the cakes design and without much inspiration image reference, she designed the perfect cake!

Whatever she puts in her icing is delicious! My guests, husband and I can never have enough!
Until my next cake by Vanessa, we’ll have to survive off of her cupcakes every holiday! ?

Thank you again!“

“(Translated by Google) The best bread I've ever tasted. The teleras, do not say. The owner and the lady, the best in their attention.(Original)Pan del mejor que eh probado. Las teleras, no se diga. El dueño y la señora, de lo mejor en su atención.“

“The sweet bread is the best! Better than the big-store supermarket bakeries. It tastes fresh and has a very natural sweet flavor. I love their conchas, their puerquitos, and their cuernitos. So yummy!Their tamales are bomb, too. They don't skimp on the filling, which is what a lot of places do, unfortunately. But not here, they pack the tamales full of meat or cheese - whatever flavor you're getting, you'll be sure to get your money's worth. I saw they also sell burritos and tortas.The place is small so it can get crowded but that's ok. Get in, get your yummy goodies, get out, and enjoy the deliciousness, knowing that you're supporting the local community.“

“Picked up adobo chicken, Shanghai lumpia, empanadas- all my Filipino favorites. Everything tasted so delicious, hot, and fresh. Thank you for cooking and making my day even better!!“

“Here's a hidden place I like to go to and I can't believe I hadn't reviewed this after all these years!The price is so affordable! This bakery caters mainly to business but their doors are open to the public. No long lines. Get your coffee elsewhere and grab and go here.I love all their sweets!! My favorites are shown in my home pics.Eat your ❤️ out guys! So nummmmy!!“

“The most sweetest owner ever. I came on black Friday and they were closed. Salie was there and told me they were closed but she still so generously gave me some bread. I haven't met someone so kind in a while. What a beautiful person to run into. She did her part on spreading kindness ❤️ I definitely will revisit. Thank you “

“First time buying there but the birote was amazing. I will definitely be coming in a weekly basis“

“Holy Cow!! In the area for my nephews wedding and needed coffee. Thank you Google. Dude made an awesome cup of Latte. The baked goods looked amazing but we were on our way to a wedding dinner. 2nd day, 2nd trip. Latte just as good today and we bought breakfast stuff. Everything we bought was FANTASTIC! But the brownie, ahhhh, the brownie. It was dipped in chocolate with white chocolate drizzle and nuts. It was super FANTASTIC!! My hubs and I just split it. DIL is going to be mad that we ate it all!! On a scale of 1-5, this place is a SOLID 9!! Both employees we dealt with were super friendly. I’m just sorry it’s not on my way to the airport tomorrow!“
